Why Should I Believe The Bible Is God's Word? Series

Contributed by Sherm Nichols on Jan 17, 2013

To help people have a strengthened confidence in the Bible and an increased awareness of why this is so important.

For 40 years, Gallup has been asking America its view of the Bible, and over that period of time, there has been an interesting trend. While more people now say they believe the Bible is God’s inspired word, the same group of people also say that it isn’t meant to be taken literally. ...read more
